Before You Begin


This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.)

Pre-Requisites


Why am I Seeing This?


Recent versions of MacOS (Catalina & newer) introduced the Gatekeeper security functionality, requiring software to be signed by Apple or a trusted (aka - paying) developer. If the signature isn’t on the list of trusted ones, it will stop the program from executing and display the message above.

Steps


  1. Open the System Settings panel.

  2. Navigate to Privacy & Security.

  3. Scroll down and observe the following message under the Security settings.
